Router/Netflow simulator

[JoshD]

I would like to evaluate Scrutinizer - however I don't have access to a real netflow device. Does anyone have a recommendtion for a Router/Netflow simulator? I see there are a few out there (see links below) however I am looking for a recommendation from someone who has actually successfully used one.

Possible simulators:

TY,

Hello Josh,

When you install Scrutinizer it comes with a program called Flowalyzer which you can use to generate NetFlow packets and send them to any NetFlow collector.

Also, nProbe has a free copy that will support sending up to 2000 flow packets that can get you started:

Thanks,

Thank you Paul. I will give Flowalyzer a shot.
